Gemstone

Story

Post-war jewelry underwent a change with naturalistic designs and three-dimensionality taking over and the former scarcity of precious stones and metals recouping with a vengeance. Natural pearls were making a comeback and cluster rings became quite fashionable once again.

Here the cluster ring is portrayed with a luscious oval faceted natural amethyst within a modified cut down 14k yellow gold bezel accented with a multiplicity of claws. The large amethyst of an estimated 8 carats and about 13 x 17 mm in size is framed with a surround of twenty (20) half seed pearls each mounted within its own ridged crimped gold setting. The under gallery, a spectacle of open work design is reminiscent of the underside of a dahlia in bloom. Quite fitting for a statement making hand.
